lyrics
VERSE 1:
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide!
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
O Help of the Helpless, abide with me!
VERSE 2:
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories fade away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me!
CHORUS:
For the darkness will never overcome
The one who calls on Your Name
By grace I am saved (by Your grace).
And though my fears are strong,
You’ve said the words I’ve longed to hear;
Your voice surrounds me
Abide with me.
VERSE 3:
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
“O death where is your victory? O death where is your sting?”
Death will have no victory if Thou abide with me.
CHORUS:
For the darkness will never overcome
The one who calls on Your Name
By grace I am saved (by Your grace).
And though my fears are strong,
You’ve said the words I’ve longed to hear;
Your voice surrounds me
Abide with me.
While there’s breath within me, Abide with me…
While there’s breath within me, Abide with me…
Abide with me…
Abide with me…
